Back when the sea was thick and lasted for years, cyclones tended to spread the ice out and actually increase its extent, said Julienne Stroeve of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. Now, when ice gets spread out, it simply breaks up and disappears.

“As our ice cover has thinned, some of our old rules are changing,” said Stroeve.

Looking at the graph below I am having a tough time locating the disappearing part.

Julienne Stroeve is still today saying “Computer models forecast that on current climate trends, the Arctic will eventually become ice-free in summer months.”
There is a saying in finance – “The trend is your friend…..until the end”
Psst: Julienne? The trend has well and truly ended.
Your climate religion is now just like Lehman Brothers or LTCM.

Some nice charts in this BBC story. It looks to me like the “environmental journos” have finally twigged that the Climate Alarmists are like certain Catholic priests. They have been caught covering things up.

The Computer model is the only acceptable trend for Alarmists. They can play their fantasy cyber world of Climate Doom to their heart’s content.

That’s why it appears some of them seem to get quite upset when the real world data doesn’t do what their imagined cyber data says it’s going to do. Still they’re ever hopeful that it will. They will be hoping 2014 will be ice free and if not 2015 and so on. Got to keep up the cyber fantasy trend.

This is the classic propaganda technique of the left. A number of people, preferably with letters following their name, make claims and wild predictions. Then more people make predictions and claims based on the previous predictions and claims. The left wing media picks it up and publishes it widely which generates more claims and wild predictions all of course can now be well referenced back to people with letters following their names and finally politicians pass laws that restrict rights, raise taxes and redistributes money for votes and other favors. Who says politic s is boring?
